Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been voted Football Writers’ Association men’s player of the year for the third time, Reuters reports.

Salah, the second player to claim the award three times after former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, leads the Premier League scoring chart with 28 goals this season, helping Liverpool win their second league title since he joined in 2017.

“He won 90% of votes cast by the FWA’s over 900 members, the biggest winning margin this century,” the FWA said in a statement.

Egypt international Salah’s teammate Virgil Van Dijk was second in the poll, ahead of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and Arsenal’s Declan Rice.
